More's the pity.

listopencil said:That's simply not true. It's all in the Bible. I think you and I might have different ideas about what "faith" is, because it's laid out right in front of you from my standpoint.
OK, go ahead and prove your knowledge. Unless you are using a different definition of "know" than I am. There are two conflicting definitions of "know" that apply in this case.
MissileMan said:Are you saying that God killed your friend to show the rest of you the error of your ways? Or are you saying that if you look hard enough that something good can be found about any bad thing that happens?
I don't buy this argument. The dog is trying to bite the vet because the vet can't communicate his good intentions to the dog. If the accounts of the Bible are true, God is quite capable of communicating with us. The whole "mysterious ways" argument is contrived and convenient.
MissileMan said:And one could argue that the greatest trick ever performed was when a few men convinced the world that a god exists. Ain't it a bitch that we have to die in order to find out which of us is right?
Mariner said:child killed by a U.S. bomb go to heaven? Would he want to go to heaven, given that he believes in Allah?
Religious arguments of this kind tend to go nowhere. I think the Founding Fathers were incredibly wise to keep religion out of the state, and to let people alone to believe whatever they like. Wars have been fought, and people tortured and burned at the stake for the sake of petty quibbling about details of something that seems to be ungraspable.

LuvRPgrl said:Yea, that kid would go to heaven. NICE EH!
and the founding fathers instituted state religions. sorry, but its a fact.
SpidermanTuba said:Which ones and which states?
They also instituted slavery.
Apparenly not all of their ideas were good ones.
musicman said:Well, what they actually decided was to keep the state out of religion; there's a difference, and it's worth pointing out. Apart from that, I wholeheartedly agree with your statement. It's an incredibly wise principle.
LuvRPgrl said:not if we arent intelligent enough to understand how it is explained in its simplest terms.
Like I said, contrived and convenient.LuvRPgrl said:and then faith comes into play.
LuvRPgrl said:I would never discount the existence of a God or Creator based on my inability to undertand why He does some things, or all things the way he does. I find that the height of arrogance. Any being so far superior to me that can create the universe and life itself, certainly puts me in awe

MissileMan said:Despite any protestations you might make, that door swings BOTH ways. They very much intended for the institution of religion to keep out of government, at least at the federal level, too. That's a whole different can of worms from trying to say they intended for religious people to not be part of the government, which is clearly not the case.
MissileMan said:Are you saying that God can't explain it in terms we can understand, ever?
Like I said, contrived and convenient.
If I believed such an entity exists, I would be in awe also.
